The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, at the University of Alberta, is actively seeking to nominate a candidate for an NSERC University Faculty Award in the Fall 2006 competition.

The University Faculty Award was created by NSERC to encourage Canadian universities to appoint outstanding women and aboriginal researchers to tenure-track positions in science and engineering. Further information on the program can be found at the following web page: http://www.nserc.gc.ca/professors_e.asp?nav=profnav&lbi=c7

The nominee will have an excellent record of research and publication. We are particularly interested in candidates who work in a field related to an area of existing or emerging strength in the Department, although other areas will be considered. Some areas of research excellence, recently highlighted by the Faculty of Science, include algebra, functional analysis, fluid dynamics, statistics, mathematical biology, and scientific computing. The candidate will also have a strong commitment to and aptitude for teaching undergraduate students, and will be expected to supervise graduate theses.

This tenure-track appointment is scheduled to begin on or near July 1, 2007.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, research and teaching profiles outlining experience and/or interests, and at least three confidential letters of reference to:

Anthony To-Ming Lau, Chair
Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2G1

The closing date for applications is March 1, 2006. Early applications are encouraged. According to NSERC regulations, applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada.

Please Note: Applicants being considered will generally be contacted within 3-4 weeks of the deadline date. Those not contacted are thanked for their interest and encouraged to apply for future positions advertised by the University.

The University of Alberta hires on the basis of merit. We are committed to the principle of equity in employment. We welcome diversity and encourage applications from all qualified women and men, including persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and Aboriginal persons.
